Wollongong Hospital upgrades – night works
Temporary night construction works are occurring at Wollongong Hospital as
part of improvements to the hospital’s external entryway.
The necessary works involve the removal of the aging rotunda structure located at the end of the overhead pedestrian bridge leading from the multi-storey car park to the hospital, adjacent to the Illawarra Cancer Care Centre (see photo). A replacement will also be installed.
Due to the high levels of pedestrian traffic and patient transport movements in this area during the day, we need to undertake this work at night.
Initial works commenced on 13 May 2026 and the project is expected to continue until 30 June 2026, with hours generally between 8:00pm and 6:00am.
The first stage of works, including rendering and painting, is now complete. The second stage is commencing shortly and will require the use of a large crane on site from Wednesday 20 May to Friday 22 May for removal works.
During this period, there may be some construction noise, including machinery and equipment. There will be no impact on surrounding roads, and access to the hospital will be maintained at all times.
Please be assured the construction team will remain mindful of the comfort of both residents and hospital patients and will make every effort to minimise noise and disruption wherever possible. All works will be undertaken in line with relevant noise, environmental and safety standards.
If you have any questions, concerns, or would like further information, please contact: Matt Holland on matthew.holland2@health.nsw.gov.au.
We appreciate your patience and understanding while we carry out these important upgrades to improve access to Wollongong Hospital.
